im looking at these 2 mics... and i hear good things about both... but the spark sounds good and so does the bluebird... im just curious if the blue bird is worth the extra hundred... any opinions would be awesome..
thanks

get tha AT4040 or AT4050 or AT4060
fuck anything lower quality than those...
I cannot list all of my best lines inside this signature
because they number in the tens of thousands.
the blue bird is very similar to the at4040 at least in specs... tho I've never used it...which is y im asking this question...anybody have anything useful to add to the conversation... also im looking at the m-audio mobile pre-amp and audio interface tho im admitedly ignorant on pre amps.... so any input on that would help....
shit let me change this thread.... i got roughly 500 to spend on a mic and pre amp what would be best to buy in that price range?....thanks

oh re looking at the specs, and reading what each thing is i would say the blue bird is better then the at 4040 slightly... except the at4040 has a 10dB pad and a 80 hz low cut filter...which i dont really understand why i would need those things for vocals... tho i could be wrong...

ive recorded on the bluebird quite a few times at a local studio years ago....shit was really nice man....almost bought one myself...also sexy lookin...
the other mic, i know nothing about....so i cannot compare them....so my input is worthless....good day, sir!

I have the 4040, great mic... the 80hz lo-cut is nice if you don't have a deep voice... the Bluebird sounds great too, you can't go wrong either way... just pick one... the MobilePre MKII is perfect for your needs, no hesitation, just get it and decide which mic you'd rather have... don't forget to take into account a decent pop filter and xlr cable... I recommend a metal pop filter and a Monster or Mogami cable, don't go cheapskate on that shit... pretty sure the Bluebird comes with it's own little pop screen that works well, but I'd still go metal... and of course a shockmount if they don't come with, they should...

ive already got the fast track im looking into the fast track pro... im pretty sure im going with the blue bird...and the set up i got has a chord and pop filter probably not the best of pop filters or chords tho... from what i read the bluebird comes with a blue mic cable and a shock mount... but yeah any other pre-amps that are a step up form the fast track that are around 200 that someone could tell me...

in this price range, as far as preamps are concerned, it won't make a ton of difference... most of 'em in this range will sound similar... the differences between interfaces will be the quality of their analog-to-digital converters, for the most part... most preamps in this price range should be clean and clear and that's all you can really expect... it's not until a couple price ranges higher that you start to really notice tonal differences in preamps...
so basically, just buy some shit and get after it... you can't really go wrong...
